A bill to allow banning guns from major sports and music venues was introduced Monday by Senate Minority Leader Lee Harris, D-Memphis, and state Rep. John Ray Clemmons, D-Nashville, WATE reports. The bill challenges the new state law that allows guns in parks. "Allowing guns in areas with large crowds where alcohol is consumed is a recipe for disaster and creates a grave danger for law enforcement officers," Harris said in a statement. The bill’s exemption would apply to events that require a ticket for entry.
